The Ford Sierra, produced from 1982 to 1994, marked a significant shift in Ford's design philosophy, moving away from the angular styling of the Cortina to a more aerodynamic, wedge-shaped design. This move was heavily influenced by the aerodynamic research of the late 1970s and early 1980s, with the Sierra boasting a drag coefficient of just 0.34. This design not only enhanced fuel economy but also contributed to a smoother ride and quieter cabin at higher speeds. The Sierra's interior featured a dashboard that was considered modern and sophisticated for its time, with a central instrument cluster and a more driver-focused layout. The Sierra was offered in a wide range of engine options, catering to different buyer needs. The base model utilized a 1.3-liter engine, while higher trim levels offered larger displacements, including 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, and 2.3-liter options. The Sierra also introduced the powerful 2.8-liter Cologne V6 engine, which offered a significant performance upgrade. Notably, the Sierra featured a unique 'Integral' rear suspension system, a design that Ford had developed to improve handling and ride comfort. This system incorporated the rear axle directly into the body shell, resulting in a compact and efficient design. The Sierra offered both three and five-door body styles, with the later addition of a station wagon variant, the Sierra "Estate," which provided increased cargo space. While the Sierra was lauded for its design and technology, its early iterations faced criticism for build quality and handling issues. Despite these challenges, the Sierra proved to be a successful model for Ford, becoming a popular choice in various markets and remaining in production for over a decade.
